St Catherine of Siena Parish

This past year has been a great challenge for each one of us. It has caused each of us to pray and really reflect on what is most important in our lives.  As our society continues to slowly emerge from the pandemic, and our lives start to change for the better, so to here at St. Catherine of Siena we are starting to lighten up on some of the protocols that were put in place to help us maintain our ability to worship.  With that said, masks are no longer mandatory, but rather it is up to everyone to decide whether one wants to wear it or not.  We will not judge you with whatever decision you choose.  Also, seating is all open, and is at full capacity.  However, if you wish to still have some social distancing, the seats by the tabernacle will continue to maintain the spacing.  In the pews are the missalettes for your use, and Holy Water is available in the fonts at the entryways.  In terms of the liturgy, the only things that will continue to be withheld is the Presentation of the Gifts, Communion under the Precious Blood, and the Sign of Peace.  The reinstitution of the Sunday Obligation will begin on June 19 in the Diocese of Manchester.  Each week, we continue to welcome more and more people back, and it is a blessing to see.  The weekend of June 12/13 will be the last Communion outside of Mass until the Obligation is reinstated. 

I invite us as a community to pray for one another, and to seek out God's blessings and peace to dwell upon us, our families, community, nation and world.  I invite you to particpate in whatever capacity you feel comfortable and safe at this time, whether online or in person.  Below are some notes for those visiting the Church and the time of our Masses and other services.  Please know that you are in our prayers, here at St. Catherine of Siena.

Spiritual Act of Communion

St. Alphonsus Liguori
       18th century:   

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
